So I'm helping my buddy track a doe he shot the other day. 3/4 of a mile later (long story for another thread), we come to a crossroad. The deer goes onto a piece of property that we have no idea who owns. A bunch of phone calls later and 12 different doors knocked on we finally find out who owns it.

We talk to her for a bit and she gives us permission to continue (cool). We ask if anyone else is hunting there that we should know about cause I'd rather not get shot or ruin someones hunt. She says nobody has hunts those woods [:-]. I didn't want to drop the bomb then and there because we had other issues to deal with at the moment, but the thought of new land immediately popped into my noggin.

So anyway we're plodding along trailing the doe. Thickets, swamps, pines, crop fields, swail, food, bed, funnels, ridges, etc.....
All I can say is.................


I dont' know how many deer we jumped/saw. Cant even count the rubs,beds, and scrapes. A little 400 acre piece of unhunted paradise.

Sooooooo I need toput together mygameplan on how to go about aquiring this little honey hole[8D]. Let's hear some of your best lines to use when approaching a landowner with potential to gain permission.
